Clear Water Cake (Sponge Cake) 清水蛋糕

I've not been baking for a long time and with an itching pair of hands, I decided to try Angel's Clear Water Cake which I have bookmarked a year ago.

But why "clear water" when there is no water used in the first place? To quote the originator, "这个蛋糕就如名字一样，外形清清澈澈简简单单，可是里面却不简单哦，超细腻的组织，超柔软的口感，入口即化".

I didn't bother to level the top of the batter and ended up with uneven looking cakes. Also, after baking for 12 mins, the top didn't brown although the cake was cooked so I gave it another 2 minutes, hoping to get a nice brown. Not much luck here.

Instead of using muffin cups, I used mini cupcake cases as I wanted it to be popped into the mouth, just like that, no bites = no mess.

And it's just right for my son to pop the whole cake into his mouth :)
